Cotton Spate
Cotton Spate is a display console designed for a pop-up store. The console presents a small number of products so that attention stays on each item. Its form is inspired by fields of organic Pima cotton flowers, which grow beside a lake in Peru. A white three-dimensional wavy surface holds thin circular metal plates that carry the items. The wavy part is high-density foam shaped by hand from a computer model, and the plates are white painted metal. The counter and the outer enclosure are made of wood. Storage space is placed under the wavy surface.

Cotton Spate Console was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2020. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design recognition program that recognizes exceptional design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
